Solution :When a RAY of light enters turpentine from air, it bends towards normal (as it enters from rarer to DENSER medium) and then when it enters air from turpentine, it bends away from normal (as it enters from denser to rarer medium).
In the FIGURE, PATH of light ray no. 2 is correct as it follows the path in above manner.
